A woman who said she was repeatedly sexually assaulted by a counselor while incarcerated at a downstate prison was awarded more than $19 million by a federal jury.
A woman who said she was repeatedly sexually assaulted by a counselor while incarcerated at a downstate prison and that authorities failed to properly act on her accusations was awarded more than $19 million by a federal jury late last week.
Illinois Attorney General Kwame Raoul’s office, which represented many of the defendants in the case, had no comment. The Illinois Department of Corrections also declined to comment. The woman was transferred to another housing unit “but Macleod made a special effort to remain her counselor,” the lawsuit stated. The woman did not report Macleod’s misconduct for fear of retribution.
Macleod’s abuse of the woman continued through at least May 2017, before she was assigned a new counselor, according to the lawsuit.The woman was subsequently transferred to Decatur Correctional Center.
In the summer of 2017, Logan’s assistant warden, Angel Wilson, recommended that Macleod be “locked out” of working at the prison, according to court documents. But Macleod stayed at Logan for 13 months, and was paid an annual salary of more than $97,500 as of 2019, according to court documents. The state’s prison system faces issues on a number of fronts. On Tuesday, the state’s auditor general issued a report covering a two-year period ending in June 2022 that laid out several deficiencies at IDOC, including failing to adequately train some of its employees.
